Tables
Edit your table
To resize table columns, just click and drag the column's border. To make other changes to your table, click inside it to reveal the table toolbar.

Sort the table
You can sort the contents of your table by selecting the sort icon in the table header row.
To preserve the order of a sorted table:
Edit a page
Go to the table, and select the sort icon for the column you want to sort
Select Publish to save the changes

You can use the Cut row and Paste row icons to move rows around in the editor.
Sticky table headers
In some instances the header rows of your table will stick to the top when you're scrolling down a page, making those really long tables easier to read.
You don't need to do anything to enable sticky table headers, however there are a lot of situations where headers won't stick. These include when your table:
- is nested inside a page layout, inside another table, or inside a macro
- has no header row or there are cells in the top row that aren't marked as headers
- has a header column, instead of a header row, and scrolls horizontally
- contains another table that has its own header row
There's no way to freeze rows or columns in Confluence tables.
